My wife and I are planning to start the trek between 3/28-4/1. We’re hoping to find some trekking partners to split the cost of the guide. We’re both fit and don’t see ourselves hiring porters – we’d also like to do the trek in around 14 days, so that we’ll be able to get back to Kathmandu in time for the Nepalese New Year’s celebrations.

I’m from New York, but have been living for the last three years in Japan with my wife (she’s Japanese but speaks English fluently). We’re hoping to meet some fellow travelers and share this experience.
